California voted for the Republican nominee, President William McKinley, over the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan. McKinley won the state by a margin of 13.16% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.
Bryan had previous lost California to McKinley four years earlier and would later lose the state again in 1908 to William Howard Taft.
